Group of Gregor Eichele
Genes and Behavior, MPIBPC.

The department of Gregor Eichele at the Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry investigates various aspects of the interplay between gene expression, development and behavior, as well as chronobiology. In 2011 we (Regina Faubel [now University of Pittsburgh, PA], Eberhard Bodenschatz, Gregor Eichele and myself) have established a now long living collaboration between the two departments. We work on different aspects and questions regarding the cilia mediated flow of the cerebrospinal fluid in the third ventricle of the brain.

Group of Stefan Luther
Biomedical Physics, MPIDS.

Stefan Luther and his group investigate cardiac dynamics with particular focus on the experimental visualization of cardiac arrhythmias and their description in the framework of non-linear dynamics. Together with Ulrich Parlitz and Claudia Richter, we formed a collaboration to study the synchronization of gel embedded Cardiomyocytes.

Group of Gabriel Amselem
Ecole Polytechnique, Paris.

Gabriel Amselem is a former PhD student of Eberhard Bodenschatz. He is currently associated with the Interfaces, Bio-Engineering & Microfluidics group of Charles Baroud. We share similar scientific interests (Microfluidics, Biology of Physarum polycephalum and Dictyostelium discoideum) and continue to work together on single cell stimulation.
